THE STRANGLERS The Collection 1977-1982 (Rare 1982 UK 14-track red label vinyl LP test pressing for the compilation album, this has plain red labels with no print or writting, and has stamped 'LBG 30353 A-2-1-1-' / 'LBG 30353 B-1-1-1-' matrices. But that is not all, this example comes with a wraparound proof sleeve for the withdrawn picture sleeve, featuring the band name across the front with a black background and red album title at the top, this can be found on Greek & German pressings, the back is clearly printed again using different artwork but with the UK catalogue number 'LBG 30353' present. The sleeve displays the usual general wear but with no rips, whilst the vinyl looks barely played. This was is from an ex EMI employee’s collection, who worked closely with the record label, their many artists and other labels, a fantastic example with the rare artwork, the first we have seen!)
